| Obverse description | Bare head of Hermes facing right, rendered with curly hair and youthful features in the Hellenistic tradition. A caduceus, the distinctive winged staff entwined with serpents and the primary attribute of Hermes, is visible to the left of the portrait. The design is contained within a beaded border that frames the entire field. The surface exhibits a deep olive-green patina consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Imperial period. |

| Additional information |
Aenus, a Thracian coastal city at the mouth of the Hebrus river, issued bronze coinage under Roman provincial authority through the 2nd century AD with notable consistency. The AMNG II#405d reference places this among a well-documented but numerically modest group, and RPC IV.1 has helped clarify attribution for several previously misassigned specimens in this series.
